I am proud to recognize and honor the Vietnam Veterans of Lancaster County with a special commemorative ceremony.

The 2008 National Defense Authorization Act authorized the secretary of defense to conduct a program to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. A special Vietnam Veterans’ lapel pin has been produced and will be distributed to attending veterans.

All veterans who served on active duty in the United Stated Armed Forces between Nov. 1, 1955, and May 15, 1975 – regardless of stationing location – are invited to attend this event. Questions regarding the event may be directed to my office at 717-284-1965.
